Paris, May 22. French national champion Adelina Galyavieva, who switched citizenship when she began competing for her new nation seven years ago, has outlined the cultural differences between countries and said she is not “attached” to anywhere.
The 24-year-old ice dancing queen was born in Kazan, only to continue her skating career in France in 2014, moving to Lyon to partner Laurent Abecassis and take part in her first competition the following year.
A World Team Trophy competitor who has danced to songs including ‘Thriller’ by Michael Jackson and ‘Oh, Pretty Woman’ by Roy Orbison, Galyavieva still calls the Russian city her hometown but has a home in Milan.“I have often moved but now my home is still Italy,” she told Realnoe Vremya.
“At the same time, I cannot say that I am attached to any place. Due to my age, I easily adapt to the events taking place in my life. I associate Italy with pasta and twisted dolce. Italians know how to enjoy life, its colors – they are very emotional.
